Which of these two oils would you choose?
I live in an area that rarely gets below freezing in the winter and my manufacturer reccomends 0W-40 yearound, but if the temp stays above -25C then they say 5w-40 is ok. I'm considering the following 2 oils and have listed below the specs where they differ;
OIL - 1 Oil - 2
Kinematic Vis @100C 13.9 14
" " 40C 84 78.3
Viscosity Index 171 186
Pour Point -42C -54
Flash point 240C 230C
Both oils are on manufacturers reccomended list.
I will appreciate any guidance.
thanks
